TL;DR Summary

Target has removed a book from its Black History Month collection after a high school history teacher discovered that it mislabeled three prominent Civil Rights icons. The "Civil Rights Magnetic Learning Kit" incorrectly identified W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, and Carter G. Woodson. Target has stated that it will no longer sell the product and has informed the publisher of the errors. The month of February marks Black History Month, a tradition aimed at honoring the contributions and sacrifices of African Americans.
